Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The simulated combat has entered a fierce stage. The commanders of the 99th branch on the scene have lost their voices. With five times the number of soldiers of the opponent, the situation is one-sided.

Cotesel led the troops to constantly change positions in their position. As long as the soldiers of the 99th branch attacked, they would immediately attack from all around, and then quickly disperse.

The 99th branch has lost half of its troops, while Cotesel has lost less than 50 soldiers. Such a huge gap has surprised the commanders of the 99th branch.

Although it was just a simple competition without heavy firepower, the result was still unacceptable to the military commanders.

At this time, Cotesell had begun to organize an effective attack, using part of his troops to contain the soldiers of the 99th branch who were already like a piece of scattered sand in their own territory. Many soldiers were completely confused and unable to effectively execute orders.

"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If you only rely on weapons and equipment to fight, once the weapons and equipment are overwhelmed by the opponent, the entire army will be annihilated."

Fredo said and took out a cigar. The simulated battle situation in front of him could not be more obvious. The army of the 99th branch had begun to retreat steadily. They were continuously defeated in the Coteser position and were soon defeated. .

At this time, Cottersell led two teams directly into the position of the 99th branch. Realizing that the situation was not good, the commander immediately retreated. However, after the order was issued, the soldiers of the 99th branch had been divided into good groups. For a few pieces, they couldn't evacuate at all, and were directly held back by Cotesier's troops.

"Sorry Fredo."

At this time, Sim sighed helplessly. Fredo had said before that the current tactics of the 99th branch army were difficult to implement, but most of the army commanders were refuting Fredo. However, everything in front of him was enough to prove that the battlefield The army of the 99th branch is too weak.

"Generals the battle will be over soon, no matter what they do it's already over."

Meira said, Sim nodded, Cotesel had already got the flag and was running towards his position. Once he arrived at the position, this simulated combat training would be over.

Even if the troops of the 99th branch began to return on a large scale for reinforcements, it would be of no avail, which accelerated their defeat.

"it's over."

When Cortesier stood in his own territory holding a flag, the AI ​​immediately determined the outcome. The final result was that 831 soldiers from the 99th branch "died" and 61 soldiers from Cortesier's side "died" .

The simulated battle lasted for 308 minutes, which was not a long time. If the troops were equal in strength, it would have ended in less than an hour.

At this time, Nayin, who was the commander of the 99th branch, returned to the stage. In the entire training ground, the kangaroo soldiers of the 99th branch were discussing. Nayin looked helpless.

"If this was a real war, you would all be wiped out."

Meira said, Nayin nodded, and the other military commanders also knew that if it wasn't for the purpose of capturing the flag, all their soldiers would have been wiped out.

It is very important to clearly understand one's own strength. Fredo plans to write down as much of his experience as possible in the last few days as a basis for the future combat training of the 99 branch.

"The reason why I set so many basic exercises is to lay a solid foundation for being able to implement these tactics on the battlefield."

Fredo said and Sim nodded. He had indeed seen too many changes during this time.

"General Sim, I think when the training is almost done, we can divide a few more areas. Such simulated actual combat can be carried out every day. After all, we don't have much time, right?"

Sim nodded, and Fredo stepped onto a flying machine.

"Where are you going Freddo."

Mera leaned forward and Fredo smiled.

"I haven't seen Jamie and the others for a few days. I have to go and take a look."

Mira thought for a while and jumped onto the aircraft.

"I will go with you."

The aircraft took off quickly, and Sim sighed.

"It would be great if he would stay."

Sim said to Nayin beside him.

"He won't stay."

3pm

The aircraft was already approaching the ruined city, and Mira spoke.

"Why don't you let go of these meaningless things?"

Fredo laughed.

"These things may seem meaningless to you, but they look different to me."

Soon the lift landed next to a building, and now everyone was living in this building. As soon as Freddo got off, some old people came over to say hello, and Jamie and the others were exercising nearby.

Fredo did not go to find them, but planned to wait here for Jamie and the others to come back.

Meira was sitting on the aircraft. She could see that many humans were still a little afraid of her, and she laughed.

"You are living here aimlessly, why not go back to the farmland."

As Meira said, several old men chatting nearby looked at Meira, and one of them said.

"We're living a good life now."

Meera laughed.

"Very good? In such a dilapidated place, we don't have to rely on us for food and water."

After watching a few old people walking away, Meira fell into deep thought. She had wondered since she was very young why there were always some rebels among these humans.

In order to prevent humans from having any more rebels, the branch that Meili used to belong to changed some strategies and became a little gentler towards humans. However, all this was of no use as those rebels would appear from time to time.

In the past, when Meila was young, the rebels who appeared would cause a little trouble to the branch, but then everything human was taken away by the evacuation, they were just laborers in the farmland, porters in the city, or cleaners, kangaroos We will never let humans touch some high-performance machinery again.

However, resisters still emerge in endlessly, and there will always be a large number of resisters. Meira doesn't understand the use of their resistance, because they have lost everything, and it is useless no matter how much they resist.

So in Meila, it seems that everything Fredo has done is in vain and meaningless. This society has been completely stereotyped and will not change much, so it is meaningful to become the upper class of this society. of.

Seeing Fredo chatting with many people, Meila felt helpless. Thinking of the human child who ran to notify branch 99 that night, Meila found this quite strange.

At this time Fredo came over.

"What's wrong? Do you think it's weird?"

Meira nodded.

"No matter what they do it's pointless Fredo, you should know better than me."

"Indeed, I have been to many places. Even though many people have the consciousness of resistance, they are still unable to do anything, because human beings already lack all knowledge, but human beings have never been content with the status quo. I have seen many People try to change something, and although they basically fail, there are still people who try, and one day humans will find a breakthrough."

Meira laughed, and Jamie and the others came back at this time.

"Fredo, when did you come?"

Fredo jumped over.

"You look a lot more energetic, Jamie."

Jamie said wiping his sweat.

"Well, Fredo, I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger."

"There are only a few days left before we can start our journey. Where is Imogen. Is she okay?"

Jamie nodded.

"Winnie is taking care of her, and by the way, Fredo, Jason wants to talk to you about something."

Fredo hummed, but Jason hadn't come back yet. Fredo and Jamie were talking about what he had done in the past few days. Jamie was very interested and asked about this and that, which made Fredo confused. Don't know where to start.

"Why did that guy come to Freddo with you?"

Jamie muttered under his breath and Fredo smiled.

"It's okay Jamie, she won't do anything to anyone here again."

At this time Jason came back with people, holding some collected things and some books.

"Fredo. I want to tell you something."

Jason said as soon as he came over, and Fredo nodded.

"Say it."

Jason quickly expressed his thoughts. He hoped that they could regularly go to the nearby farmland to work and get some water and food.

Jason's suggestion made Fredo a little surprised, and Mira beside him laughed.

"Slaves are supposed to work in the fields. What's the point of what you do?"

"dignity."

Fredo said, and Jason nodded. When he started to explain, Fredo realized that if they kept taking the food and water sent by Branch 99 for free, it would not be possible to continue in this long term.

"Everyone agrees to do this. We will not eat and drink the kangaroos for free. We will use our own labor in exchange for food and water. Fredo hopes you can help us talk to them."

Mira laughed again. Such behavior seemed so stupid and pointless to her.

"I really don't know what you are thinking. Just live a good life in the farmland. In my opinion, Branch 99 is the branch with the loosest control over humans among all the Red Kangaroo Legions."

"Perhaps you will never understand it in your lifetime."

Fredo said, Mira said nothing more. Fredo promised Jason that he would talk to Sim when he got back today. Everyone came over gratefully.

Freddo didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, there were new changes here. Such changes were brought about by their own humans. Fredo hoped that humans and kangaroos on this land could coexist peacefully. Maybe they could. Start with this land.

"Why don't you stay here, Fredo, and slowly let the people in this land be freer and learn something."

"That's a good suggestion, Mira, but it's a pity that I don't have time. I have to leave as soon as possible."

After Jason discussed some details in detail, Fredo and Meira left.

"We will also find ourselves in trouble one day, Mira."

"Haha, maybe we can't see it anymore, right?"

Fredo nodded dullly.

"Maybe, but when one day everything starts to change, we will have to face it alone. If we can overcome the difficulties, that's fine. But what if we can't overcome the difficulties? We will be alone."

"You mean, we need to rely on humans."

Fredo nodded.

"Although I can no longer do anything for this society, the only thing I can do is to find human civilization, because I have a hunch that the world will not continue to be so closed, and one day the world will inevitably face huge challenges again. crisis."

Meira laughed, and she looked at Fredo happily.

"If I hadn't gone to the military academy, I might have followed you."

Fredo laughed.

"That was a long time ago. As we were in the same period, I still remember it very clearly. You had a conflict with a male at the beginning, and you won."

"I didn't expect you still remember it."

Meira was a little surprised. Fredo was the most puzzling one among her classmates. He had been taciturn during his student days, but he always spoke amazingly. When they graduated, Meira hoped that Fredo could be with her. They went to Branch 77 together, but Fredo left.

After entering the army, Meira quickly escaped and got a position. As she continued to be promoted, Fredo's name appeared in Meira's field of vision again, but in the form of a wanted notice.

After hearing that Fredo had done something like that, Mera was shocked, but then she thought that perhaps Fredo, who was incompatible with other kangaroos, would indeed do such a thing that was unethical to kangaroo society.

Meira came close to Fredo and rubbed her head affectionately. Fredo stretched out his hand to pull Meira over, and the two snorted softly.

"Actually, I quite like you, from a long time ago."

"maybe."

Fredo smiled and reduced the speed of the aircraft.

"Sorry Mira, I can't respond to you or anything."

Meira nodded, knowing very well that once Fredo made up his mind, he would never change it.

At around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to Sim's mansion. After getting off the aircraft, Meira looked at Fredo and said.

"Come to my room tonight."

Fredo hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"You're back, Fredo. Today's results are very good. Everyone is actively discussing this simulated battle. It's a good thing to try."

Fredo nodded.

"General I want to talk to you about something."

Sim nodded. Fredo talked about Jason and the others. Sim hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"I will instruct a few farmers nearby. Maybe this change is good."

Fredo nodded.

"I believe that such changes are good generals. I will be leaving in a few days. I very much hope that everything here will undergo amazing changes in the future. Maybe I won't be able to see that day."

Sim was a little surprised.

"You are still young Fredo. Unlike me, you have already had a premonition of death."

Fredo laughed.

"I am the same general. I have often felt death recently, maybe in the near future."
